Status

Was in a "clutchy" standby mode from Mid November 2009 - September 2010. Project "officially" (unannounced to the public) dead in late 2010 - early 2011 when hosting agreements with HLP could not be made due to the project's inconsistency and lack of progress.

Notes

Although many people showed interest in the project, and many people have with Freespace FPS set idea's, the lack of immediately available talent and RL have unfortunately sent many of these concepts to their premature graves, including this one.

"On behalf of the FS:AF team, I am sorry that nothing of significant value could be shown in regards to this project. To be perfectly honest, I was a lot younger when I envisioned this idea in 2008 (it's amazing what 3 years can do to a person, I'm sure we can all agree) and was unwilling and without the proper knowledge to take the required steps to make this project work. As everyone knows, RL plays a significant factor in anything we do, always creeping up on us at the worst of times. A First-Person-Shooter set within the Freespace Universe is something I will always admire, and wish for... Unfortunately, Freespace: Assault Force was not that game. Essentially nothing got accomplished in terms of modeling, level design, sounds, etc, and team communication was scarce at best due to other projects amongst other things.

At this time, we'd like to thank MP (MatthewPapa) at GameWarden for his willingness to host us, to everyone we collaborated with and for their help, and especially for the public and their support. Thank You and Goodbye until we meet again, at the fragmenting ends of space."''''' - 'Dragonsniper'
